Abstract

The invention relates to a fitting for joining two parts. The fitting consists of two plate-shaped fitting parts ( 1 a, 1 b), which are screwed onto the parts to be joined by means of fastening screws. Each fitting part ( 1 a, 1 b) comprises at least one lateral slot-shaped recess ( 2 ). A first bore hole ( 3 ) is provided opposite the slot-shaped recess ( 2 ) and, when the fitting is assembled, a first tension screw ( 4 ) is screwed in through this bore hole until the screw head projects with a predetermined measure. The slot-shaped recess ( 2 ) is undercut with a predetermined measure so that, when the fitting is assembled, the recess ( 2 ) of one fitting part ( 1 a) engages behind the projecting screw head of the other fitting part ( 1 b), and both plate-shaped fitting parts ( 1 a, 1 b) are pressed against one another in a planar manner. A springy arresting device ( 6 ) is also provided that prevents an unintentional opening of the fitting.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Beschlag zum Verbinden zweier Bauteile. Es ist bereits eine Vielzahl von Beschlägen für derartige Verbindungen bekannt. So ist z. B. in der DE-AS 1 779 745 ein Beschlag mit einer gekröpfte Federleiste beschrieben, die in einer relativ tiefen Ausnehmung versenkt ist. Der gekröpfte Endabschnitt der Federleiste weist einen Längsschlitz zur Aufnahme eine Halteschraube auf. Die Halteschraube ist im zu verbindenden Gegenstück eingedreht, wobei der Längsschlitz den Kopf der Halteschraube im Verbindungszustand hintergreift. Eine derartige Anordnung ist jedoch nur für eine geringe Belastung geeignet, wobei auch starre Kröpfungen die Tendenz zum Aufbiegen unter Belastung aufweisen. Ein weiterer Mangel von Verbindungen mit gekröpften Endabschnitten ist die relativ große Einbautiefe, so daß durch die erforderliche Ausfräsung der Materialquerschnitt einer Platte oder der Materialquerschnitt an der Längsseite eines Kantholzes geschwächt wird. Derartige Beschlagkonstruktionen sind in der Regel so ausgelegt, daß durch ein Zusammenstecken die Verbindung erfolgt und durch entgegengesetztes Ziehen die Verbindung gelöst wird. Ein unerwünschtes Lösen der Verbindung wird im allgemeinen durch eine separate Arretierung verhindert.The invention relates to a fitting for connecting two components. There are already a variety of fittings for such compounds known. So z. B. in DE-AS 1 779 745 describes a fitting with a bent spring bar, which is sunk in a relatively deep recess. The cranked end portion of the spring bar has a longitudinal slot for receiving a retaining screw. The retaining screw is screwed in to be connected counterpart, wherein the longitudinal slot engages behind the head of the retaining screw in the connection state. However, such an arrangement is only suitable for a low load, wherein also rigid cranks have a tendency to buckling under load. Another shortcoming of compounds with bent end portions is the relatively large installation depth, so that is weakened by the required cutout of the material cross section of a plate or the material cross section on the longitudinal side of a square timber. Such fittings designs are usually designed so that the connection is made by plugging together and by opposite pulling the connection is released. Unwanted loosening of the connection is generally prevented by a separate lock.

Einen weiteren Beschlag zum Verbinden von Bauteilen beschreibt die DE 44 21 398 A1. Dieser Beschlag weist mindestens zwei stab- oder plattenförmige Beschlagelemente auf, die jeweils als eine Beschlaghälfte mit einem Bauteil verbunden werden. Die Beschlaghälften haben im wesentlichen einen rechteckigen Querschnitt und eine gleichbleibende Materialstärke, wobei ein Ende eines der Beschlagelemente als gekröpfte Verbindungszunge ausgebildet ist, die zu dem als Befestigungsbasis dienenden Rest des Beschlagelements parallel versetzt ist. Dieser Beschlag ist wesentlich stabiler als der Beschlag aus der DE-AS 1 779 745, er muß jedoch gegen unerwünschtes Lösen ebenfalls separat arretiert werden.Another fitting for connecting components describes the DE 44 21 398 A1. This fitting has at least two rod-shaped or plate-shaped fitting elements, each as a fitting half with a component get connected. The fitting halves have a substantially rectangular cross-section and a constant material thickness, wherein one end of one of the fitting elements is designed as a bent connecting tongue, which is offset parallel to the serving as a mounting base rest of the fitting element. This fitting is much more stable than the fitting of DE-AS 1 779 745, but it must also be locked separately against unwanted loosening.

Es ist daher die Aufgabe der Erfindung einen Beschlag zum Verbinden von Bauteilen zu schaffen, der sehr einfach und kostengünstig herstellbar ist und gleichzeitig nur eine sehr geringe Einbautiefe erfordert. Weiterhin soll der Beschlag sehr stabil und gegen unbeabsichtigtes Lösen gesichert sein.It is therefore an object of the invention to provide a fitting for connecting components, which is very simple and inexpensive to produce and at the same time requires only a very small installation depth. Furthermore, the fitting should be very stable and secured against unintentional release.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch einen Beschlag nach Patentanspruch 1 gelöst.
Ein Beschlag zum Verbinden von Bauteilen besteht aus plattenförmigen Beschlagteilen, die vorzugsweise aus Metall sind. Jedes dieser Beschlagteile wird auf die zu verbindenden Stellen der Bauteile mittels Befestigungsschrauben aufgeschraubt. Die Beschlagteile sind eben und haben wenigstens eine seitliche schlitzförmige Ausnehmung. Gegenüber dieser schlitzförmigen Ausnehmung ist eine erste Bohrung vorgesehen, durch die hindurch im Montagezustand eine erste Zugschraube so weit eingeschraubt ist, daß der Schraubenkopf ein vorbestimmtes Maß hervorsteht. Die schlitzförmige Ausnehmung ist auf ein vorbestimmtes Maß hinterschnitten, so daß im Montagezustand die Ausnehmung des einen Beschlagteils den hervorstehendem Schraubenkopf des anderen Beschlagteils hintergreift und beide plattenförmigen Beschlagteile plan aneinandergepreßt sind. Am Ende der schlitzförmigen Ausnehmung in Richtung der ersten Bohrung ist eine zweite Bohrung vorgesehen, durch die hindurch eine zweite Zugschraube mit einem versenkten Kopf eingeschraubt ist, d. h. die Schraube ist soweit versenkt, daß die Planlage der Beschlagteile nicht behindert ist. Weiterhin weist der Beschlag wenigstens eine Arretiervorrichtung mit folgenden Merkmalen auf:This object is achieved by a fitting according to claim 1.
A fitting for connecting components consists of plate-shaped fitting parts, which are preferably made of metal. Each of these fitting parts is screwed onto the points to be joined of the components by means of fastening screws. The fitting parts are flat and have at least one lateral slot-shaped recess. Opposite this slot-shaped recess, a first bore is provided through which a first lag screw is screwed in so far in the assembled state, that the screw head protrudes a predetermined amount. The slot-shaped recess is undercut to a predetermined extent, so that in the assembled state, the recess of the one fitting part engages behind the protruding screw head of the other fitting part and both plate-shaped fitting parts are pressed together plan. At the end of the slot-shaped recess in the direction of the first bore a second bore is provided through which a second lag screw is screwed with a recessed head, ie the screw is sunk so far that the flatness of the fitting parts is not hindered. Furthermore, the fitting has at least one locking device with the following features:

Am Außenendabschnitt ist das Beschlagteil keilförmig ausgebildet, wobei wenigstens eine der gegenüberliegenden Seiten keilförmig ausgebildet sein muß. Zweckmäßigerweise verlaufen jedoch beide Seiten des Bauteilendabschnittes schräg nach vorn, d. h. aufeinander zu. Die schräg verlaufende Seite, nachfolgend als Keilflanke bezeichnet, weist am hinteren Ende, d. h. zur Bauteilmitte hin, eine Einrastausnehmung auf. Am korrespondierenden Beschlagteil ist ein drahtförmiges Federelement angeordnet. Wenigstens ein Abschnitt des Federelements ist als Arretierabschnitt ausgebildet, dessen Funktion nachfolgend erläutert wird:At the outer end portion of the fitting part is wedge-shaped, wherein at least one of the opposite sides must be wedge-shaped. Conveniently, however, both sides of the Bauteilendabschnittes obliquely forward, d. H. towards each other. The oblique side, hereinafter referred to as wedge flank, has at the rear end, d. H. towards the center of the component, a latching recess. At the corresponding fitting part a wire-shaped spring element is arranged. At least a portion of the spring element is formed as a locking portion, whose function is explained below:

Der Arretierabschnitt ist ein Teil des Federelements, z. B. das Ende. Das Federelement ist so ausgebildet und befestigt, daß der Arretierabschnitt im eingerasteten Zustand in der Einrastausnehmung zur Anlage kommt. Wenn die Beschlagteile ineinander verschoben werden, verschiebt die vorrückende Keilflanke den Arretierabschnitt gegen die Federkraft des Federelements, wobei der Arretierabschnitt auf der Keilflanke so weit gleitet, bis die Einrastausnehmung am Ende der Keilflanke erreicht ist und der Arretierabschnitt in die Einrastausnehmung einschnappt. Dem Fachmann ist klar, daß es zur Gestaltung des Federelements mit dem Arretierabschnitt unterschiedlichste Möglichkeiten gibt. Gemäß der technischen Lehre muß lediglich gesichert sein, daß das Federelement frei beweglich ist, d. h. die federnde Funktion muß unter allen Betriebsbedingungen gewährleistet sein.The locking portion is a part of the spring element, for. B. the end. The spring element is formed and fixed so that the locking portion comes in the locked state in the latching recess to the plant. When the fitting parts are moved into one another, the advancing wedge flank displaces the locking section against the spring force of the spring element, whereby the locking section slides on the wedge flank until the latching recess at the end of the wedge flank is reached and the locking section snaps into the latching recess. It is clear to the person skilled in the art that there are various possibilities for designing the spring element with the locking section. According to the technical teaching must only be ensured that the spring element is free to move, d. H. the resilient function must be guaranteed under all operating conditions.

Dieser Beschlag weist eine Reihe von Vorteilen auf:
Der Hauptvorteil besteht in der besonders flachen Bauweise, d. h. an den Verbindungsstellen sind keine tiefen Ausfräsungen erforderlich, die den Querschnitt der zu verbindenden Bauteile schwächen würden. Ein weitere Vorteil ist die Variationsbreite des Beschlages hinsichtlich seiner Größe. Es stehen Bleche unterschiedlichster Dicke als Halbzeug zur Verfügung und dazu passende Standardschrauben. Der Beschlag ist sehr einfach aufgebaut und läßt sich gut berechnen, d. h. es sind lediglich die bautechnisch standardisierten Halte- bzw. Auszugskräfte von Schrauben in Holz oder Kunststoff anzusetzen, um die Haltekraft des Beschlages zu berechnen. Dadurch können bautechnische Zulassungen verkürzt werden oder können ganz entfallen. Die Schrauben können auch durch andere Befestigungselemente ersetzt werden, wie z. B. durch Zuganker, wenn große Kräfte aufzunehmen sind. Mittels der Arretiervorrichtung wird ein unbeabsichtigtes Lösen des Beschlags sicher verhindert, da das Federelement nur durch eine Zerstörung, d. h. durch plastisches Aufbiegen entfernt werden kann. Da das Federelement am Beschlag selbst angeordnet ist und beim Zusammenfügen die Arretierung selbsttätig erfolgt, ist eine hohe Funktionssicherheit gewährleistet.This fitting has a number of advantages:
The main advantage is the particularly flat construction, ie at the joints no deep cutouts are required, which would weaken the cross section of the components to be joined. Another advantage is the variation in the size of the fitting. There are sheets of different thickness available as a semi-finished and matching standard screws. The fitting is very simple and can be calculated well, ie it is only the structurally standardized holding or extraction forces of screws in wood or plastic to set to calculate the holding force of the fitting. This allows constructional Approvals are shortened or can be omitted altogether. The screws can also be replaced by other fasteners, such. B. by tie rods when large forces are to be absorbed. By means of the locking device unintentional release of the fitting is reliably prevented because the spring element can only be removed by destruction, ie by plastic bending. Since the spring element is arranged on the fitting itself and the locking takes place automatically when joining, a high level of functional reliability is ensured.

Nach Anspruch 2 ist die Einrastausnehmung hinterschnitten. Die Hinterschneidung bewirkt eine formschlüssige Verbindung, so daß ein Herausziehen des Arretierabschnitts gegen die Federkraft verhindert wird.
Nach Anspruch 3 wird eine besonders einfache und funktionell sehr sichere Ausführung des Federelements offenbart, wobei das Federelement ein U-förmig gebogener Federstahldraht ist, dessen Enden rechtwinklig nach oben abgewinkelt sind. Das Federelement ist an der Unterseite des Beschlagteils in einer Ausnehmung angeordnet, wobei die abgewinkelten Enden in seitlichen Schlitzen des Beschlagteils liegen und über der Oberfläche des Beschlagteils so weit herausragen, um mit den gegenüberliegenden zwei Keilflanken des korrespondierenden Beschlagteils in Wirkverbindung treten zu können.According to claim 2, the Einrastausnehmung is undercut. The undercut causes a positive connection, so that withdrawal of the locking portion is prevented against the spring force.
According to claim 3, a particularly simple and functionally very safe design of the spring element is disclosed, wherein the spring element is a U-shaped bent spring steel wire whose ends are angled upwards at right angles. The spring element is arranged on the underside of the fitting part in a recess, wherein the angled ends lie in lateral slots of the fitting part and protrude so far beyond the surface of the fitting part in order to come into operative connection with the opposite two wedge flanks of the corresponding fitting part.

Nach Anspruch 4 ist der Querschnitt des drahtförmiges Federelements ein Kreis oder ein Rechteck, so daß das Federelement aus handelsüblichen Federstahldraht herstellbar ist.According to claim 4, the cross section of the wire-shaped spring element is a circle or a rectangle, so that the spring element can be produced from commercially available spring steel wire.

Nach Anspruch 5 weist die Arretiervorrichtung eine Eingriffsausnehmung zum Entfernen des Federelements auf, so daß im Verbundzustand das Federelement entfernt werden kann, wobei es jedoch plastisch verformt oder zerstört wird.According to claim 5, the locking device has an engagement recess for removing the spring element, so that in the composite state, the spring element can be removed, but it is plastically deformed or destroyed.

Nach Anspruch 6 ist die Arretiervorrichtung wechselseitig an beiden Beschlagteilen vorgesehen ist, was die Stabilität der Verbindung gegen unbeabsichtigtes Öffnen vergrößert.According to claim 6, the locking device is mutually provided on both fitting parts, which increases the stability of the connection against unintentional opening.

Die Erfindung wird nachfolgend an Hand eines Ausführungsbeispiels in Verbindung mit Zeichnungen näher erläutert.

Die Fig. 1a, b zeigen einen Beschlag 1 aus zwei plattenförmigen, rechteckigen Beschlagteilen 1a, 1b. Die Beschlagteile sind eben und haben an der schmalen Stirnseite eine schlitzförmige Ausnehmung 2 mit einem schwalbenschwanzförmigen Querschnitt. Eine Zugschraube 4 mit einem Senkkopf ist durch eine Bohrung 3 so weit in ein Bauteil (nicht gezeigt) eingeschraubt, daß die Seiten des Senkkopfes an den Schwalbenschwanzflanken der Ausnehmung anliegen, wobei der Winkel des Senkkopfes mit dem Flankenwinkel korrespondiert. Mit dieser Einstellung ist gleichzeitig gewährleistet, daß die beiden Beschlagteile aneinandergepreßt werden. Zur Erhöhung der Auszugskraft des Beschlages ist eine zweite Zugschraube 5 in einer Bohrung 4 vorgesehen. Der Kopf dieser Zugschraube ist so weit eingesenkt, daß eine Behinderung bei der Anlage der beiden Beschlagteile vermieden wird.1a, b show a fitting 1 of two plate-shaped, rectangular fitting parts 1a, 1b. The fitting parts are flat and have on the narrow end face a slot-shaped recess 2 with a dovetail-shaped cross-section. A pull screw 4 with a countersunk head is screwed through a hole 3 so far in a component (not shown) that the sides of the countersunk head abut the dovetail edges of the recess, wherein the angle of the countersunk head corresponds to the flank angle. With this setting it is ensured at the same time that the two fitting parts are pressed together. To increase the pull-out force of the fitting, a second lag screw 5 is provided in a bore 4. The head of this lag screw is sunk so far that obstruction in the system of the two fittings is avoided.

Nachfolgend wird der Aufbau und die Funktion der Arretiervorrichtung beschrieben:
Am Außenendabschnitt ist das Beschlagteil 1a doppelkeilförmig ausgebildet. Die schräg verlaufenden Seiten, nachfolgend als Keilflanken 8 bezeichnet, weisen am hinteren Ende, d. h. zur Beschlagteilmitte hin, je eine Einrastausnehmung 9 auf. Am korrespondierenden Beschlagteil 1b ist ein Federelement 10 angeordnet, wobei das Federelement ein U-förmig gebogener Federstahldraht ist, dessen Enden rechtwinklig nach oben abgewinkelt sind. Das Federelement 10 ist an der Unterseite des Beschlagteils in einer Ausnehmung 13 so angeordnet, daß die Beweglichkeit des Federelements nicht behindert wird. Die abgewinkelten Enden 11 liegen in seitlichen Schlitzen 14 des Beschlagteils und ragen über der Oberfläche des Beschlagteils so weit heraus, um mit den gegen-überliegenden zwei Keilflanken 8 des korrespondierenden Beschlagteils in Wirkverbindung treten zu können. Um einen besonders sicheren Halt der Arretierabschnitte 11 in den Einrastausnehmungen 9 zu gewährleisten, ist in der Einrastausnehmung 9 eine Hinterschneidung 12 vorgesehen. Diese verhindert, daß das Federelement 10 leicht herausgezogen werden kann. Das Federelement 10 kann nur mittels eines Werkzeuges, z. B. eines Schraubenziehers oder eines Hakens, der in die Eingriffsausnehmung 15 gesteckt wird, entfernt werden. Dazu ist es jedoch erforderlich, das Federelement vollständig aufzubiegen.The structure and function of the locking device will be described below:
At the outer end portion, the fitting part 1a is double-wedge-shaped. The obliquely extending sides, hereinafter referred to as wedge flanks 8, have at the rear end, ie toward the fitting part center, depending on a Einrastausnehmung 9. At the corresponding fitting part 1b, a spring element 10 is arranged, wherein the spring element is a U-shaped bent spring steel wire whose ends are angled upwards at right angles. The spring element 10 is arranged on the underside of the fitting part in a recess 13 so that the mobility of the spring element is not hindered. The angled ends 11 lie in lateral slots 14 of the fitting part and protrude over the surface of the fitting so far out in order to come into operative connection with the opposite two wedge flanks 8 of the corresponding fitting part. In order to ensure a particularly secure hold of the locking sections 11 in the Einrastausnehmungen 9, an undercut 12 is provided in the Einrastausnehmung 9. This prevents the spring element 10 can be easily pulled out. The spring element 10 can only by means of a tool, for. B. a screwdriver or a hook which is inserted into the engagement recess 15 are removed. For this purpose, however, it is necessary to completely aufzubiegen the spring element.

In Fig. 2 ist lediglich die untere Beschlaghälfte dargestellt, so daß die Anordnung des Federelements 10 besser sichtbar wird.In Fig. 2, only the lower fitting half is shown, so that the arrangement of the spring element 10 is better visible.

Fig. 3 zeigt das Federelement 10 mit den abgewinkelten Enden 11.3 shows the spring element 10 with the angled ends 11.

Dem Fachmann ist klar, daß nach der offenbarten technischen Lehre die Erfindung auch modifiziert werden kann, wie z. B. durch eine andere Gestaltung der schlitzförmige Ausnehmung 2 in Verbindung einem dazu passend gewählten Schraubenkopf. Weiterhin können auch Beschlagteile mit zwei oder mehreren Ausnehmungen 2 eingesetzt werden, wobei die Anzahl der Arretiereinrichtungen 6 nach bautechnologischen Erfordernissen gewählt wird.It is clear to the person skilled in the art that according to the disclosed technical teaching, the invention can also be modified, such. B. by another design of the slot-shaped recess 2 in conjunction with a suitably chosen screw head. Furthermore, fitting parts can be used with two or more recesses 2, wherein the number of locking devices 6 is selected according to building technology requirements.
